Scott 330-AM (c. 1956)
Not much about the Scott 330-AM is firmly documented. The trail starts with Scott's own advertising in early 1956. The company introduced the 330 to High Fidelity's readers as a new advance in AM-FM tuners and played up its "binaural" capability. The ads call it the "330 AM-FM." A later 1956 ad listed the 330 AM-FM binaural tuner at $169.55.
By 1960 the 330 was part of a Scott receiver instead of a standalone model. High Fidelity (December 1960, p.53) reviewed the Model 399 and described it as the 330 AM/FM stereo tuner and the Model 299 stereo amplifier combined on a single chassis. It offered essentially the same performance as the separate components for about $30 less. That is the closest thing to a period evaluation of the 330 tuner on record.
- Type: AM/FM tuner, advertised as a "binaural" tuner in 1956

No other specification sheet, manual, or independent test report for the 330-AM turns up in the surviving record. Production dates and quantities are undocumented.
